Travel Essentials: 17 Must-Haves Everyone Should Pack in Their Suitcase

I’ve been so lucky to get back into the habit of traveling often this year. During the pandemic, our travel plans were almost nonexistent.

Disney’s Yacht Club

During the boys spring break we decided to go up and stay on Disney property to enjoy the pool and resort.  We rarely get to do just that because we are usually so preoccupied and exhausted after the parks.  Our passes weren’t valid that week, due to it being a high traffic week for lots […]

Dressing for cold weather at Disney

{affiliate links are used in this post} After some encouragement, I’ve got the post for you!  I decided to break it up into two posts.  One for cold weather (cold to me anyway!), and one for blistering heat.  This is the cold weather one.  I’ve actually been there more during cooler weather than warm in […]

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

Disney during Spring break

magic kingdom

On Tuesday I picked up tuck from school, and surprised him by telling him “we’re going to disney world”!  Everyday tuck has a report with a couple categories, and you can get green, yellow or red lights.  All school year, every day, he’s had all green lights. Sorry this sounds braggy, but I’m really proud […]

Favorite Disney World moments over the week

Sorry it’s been quiet around here.  A week at Disney, and I’ve fallen asleep at the same time as the boys have every night (7:30!).  Which is not all that unusual but there has been NO down time.  Not complaining, it really has been an extra special week.  It’s flown by!  Here’s some of my favorite […]

Animal Kingdom and Animal Kingdom Lodge

When JB came up last friday to Orlando he was sad to have missed all the fun, and wanted to extend our stay.  So we packed up Saturday morning and headed to Animal Kingdom Lodge.  We checked in, and then spent the day at Animal Kingdom.  Tuck is all about animals lately so he was wide eyed […]

Magic Kingdom with a Two year old

We had a week at disney!  It was so much fun watching him there.  Aside from the 24 hour bug where Tuck threw up on me, himself, and into my diaper bag.  I called a teledoctor two times, and brought him into a clinic.  Gosh that was a day…  But he was quickly back to […]
